Zimbra 10 may have had specific installation requirements, and there might be updates or changes beyond that point. Here is simple guide how to Install Zimbra 10 Ubuntu 20.04 from Scratch.
Case study. Zimbra zimbra behind NAT Local to Public IP Address.
Domain: dezainweb.com
Hostname Mail Server: mail.dezainweb.com
Ip local host: 10.109.221.184
IP public Host: 103.49.238.128Remote to Server via SSH
first, we have to do ssh to remote to the server.
ssh username@ip-address-serverIf we set custom port, we have to set parameter -p, like this.
ssh -p port_number username@ip-address-serverDisable Apparmor Service and UFW
Next is disable Apparmor service. Apparmor is like firewall to isolate service/package running in server. Like SELINUX in RedHat Family. The Ufw is firewall that have chain input output like firewalld in RedHat Family.
In my opinion, I am prefer not used Internal Firewall. Firewall shoud be handle by network appliance outside this server. So resource server can decrease.
root@mail:~# systemctl stop apparmor.service
root@mail:~# systemctl disable apparmor.service
root@mail:~# systemctl stop ufw.service
root@mail:~# systemctl disable ufw.serviceSet Date and Time
Next, set date and time. So, we can get exact date and time based on timezone.
root@mail:~# timedatectl set-timezone Asia/Jakarta
root@mail:~# date
#result check date

Set Hostname
Next, set hostname. We can check full hostname fqdn with hostnamectl. If result show not yet FQDN hostname server, so we have to set it first.
root@mail:~# hostnamectl set-hostname mail.dezainweb.com
root@mail:~# hostnamectl
#result hostnamectl
